A. 1.8600 x 105 mi/s

Explanation:

The problem gives us the value of the speed of light in ft/s: v=982,080,000 ft/s

We know the conversion factor between feet and miles:

1 mi = 5280 ft

So we can apply this conversion factor to the speed of light:

v=982,080,000 ft/s \cdot \frac{1}{5280 ft/mi}=186,000 mi/s=1.86\cdot 10^5 mi/s

What is called gravitational potential energy?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Potential gravitational energy is the energy that the body has due to the Earth's gravitational attraction. In this way, the potential gravitational energy depends on the position of the body in relation to a reference level.

Two objects are made of the same material, but they have different masses and temperatures. If the objects are brought into ther
DIA [1.3K]

The smaller body will have greater temperature change.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Temperature is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. The relationship of the temperature with heat is described as

Q =m c dT.

Where Q is the heat content

m is the mass of body

c is the specific heat of body

dT is the temperature change of body.

Here the bodies are made up of same substance, so specific heat is same. The mass of bigger body is M and smaller body is m.

So the temperature change of the body will be dependent on the mass of the body. Heat loss by one body will be equal to heat gained by the other.

So M dT1 = mdT2.

So, M/m = dT2 / dT1.

So the the smaller body will be suffering higher temperature change.

An object starts at 4m/s and accelerates to 6m/s in 10 seconds. Find its displacement.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The 2 equations we need here are, first:

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t} and then once we solve for the acceleration here:

v^2=v_0^2+2aΔx

Solving for acceleration:

a=\frac{6-4}{10}=\frac{1}{5}\frac{m}{s^2} and now we will use that in the other equation:

6^2=4^2+2(\frac{1}{5})Δx and

36 = 16 + \frac{2}{5}Δx and

20 = \frac{2}{5}Δx and

\frac{5}{2}(20)= Δx so

Δx = 50 m

As the captain of the scientific team sent to Planet Physics, one of your tasks is to measure g. You have a long, thin wire labe
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1.19 m/s²

Explanation:

The frequency of the wave generated in the string in the first experiment is f = n/2l√T/μ were T = tension in string = mg were m = 1.30 kg weight = 1300 g , μ = mass per unit length of string = 1.01 g/m. l = length of string to pulley = l₀/2 were l₀ = lent of string. Since f is the second harmonic, n = 2, so

f = 2/2(l₀/2)√mg/μ = 2(√mg/μ)/l₀    (1)

Also, for the second experiment, the period of the wave in the string is T = 2π√l₀/g. From (1) l₀ = 2(√mg/μ)/f and from (2) l₀ = T²g/4π²

Equating (1) and (2) we ave

2(√mg/μ)/f = T²g/4π²

Making g subject of the formula

g = 2π√(2√(m/μ)/f)/T

The period T = 316 s/100 = 3.16 s

Substituting the other values into , we have

g = 2π√(2√(1300 g/1.01 g/m)/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(2 × 35.877/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(71.753/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(0.358)/3.16

g = 2π × 0.599/3.16

g = 1.19 m/s²
